| “Coolest Compact Car” By: Alexander75
 
Coolest compact car Great (basically carefree) engine and 6 speed gearbox. Impressive that the 2 litre engine is enviromentaly friendly (119gc02/km) and still puts out 143hp and alot of torque.
Pros:
Looks, driving experience, fuel economy and "the feeling".
Cons:
Electric window buttonpanel looks really cheap

| “Like A Rabid Bulldog Chasing A Mailman” By: ptack
Test drove both the 128i and the 135i. The 128 is a pleasant little semi-sports car. That's about the best I can say for it. The 135i, however is the main show. Just hit the accelerator and you hear this very satisfying growl just as you're shoved back in the seat by the resident 300 hp monster. This is a very fun toy to drive around, in fact, I was basically chortling the whole time I was driving it. It's a funny blend of serious performance, luxury and practicality. If this unique (odd?) mix of size, comfort, performance and price is in line with what you want, well there probably aren't too many other options, but who cares because you probably won't stop smiling after you drive one.
Pros:
Probably the most fun you can get from a new BMW for less than $50k
Cons:
It's a weird cross between a true sports car and a luxury 4-seat coupe. It's redemption is the amazing engine. It's bane is the not so modest price.

| “Light Car With Turbo Charged 300 Hp Makes It Feel Like An M3” By: Sridhar6
This is a 2 door coupe with 3 liter inline 6 cylinder churning out 300 HP, and with it's light body weight the power to weight ration is incredibly balanced and makes this car feel like an M3. The steptronic paddle shift transmission is one of the best BMW had made and there is no turbo lag and the power is instantly transmitted to the wheels when changing gears. It's an awesome car to drive
Pros:
Power, handling, braking, overall performance
Cons:
Exterior design

| “Near Perfect -- Truly An Ultimate Driving Machine” By: Christopher2...
My only two complaints are the electronic speed control (155 mph with the performance package; could easily do 175 without the governor) and the wind noise around the windows that resulted in driving over 120 mph (something about the extra pressure messing up the seal). This is the most amazing drive I've ever had. I fall in love with it all over again every day I drive it. Sadly, my wife talked me into trading it in on a 3-series that the whole family can enjoy more. Bittersweet.
Pros:
Power, handling, exhaust note
Cons:
You might not have the personality for it. It demands to be driven like you stole it.

| “Best Car In It's Class.” By: Anthony4067
BMW's 135i is nothing short of amazing. The build quality is stellar and that coupled with standard BMW power and handling make for an amazing machine. BMW's warranty and free service are great programs that add confidence to ownership. The 135i's twin turbo engine is incredible...more than enough power is always on tap.
Pros:
Power, Handling, Quild Quality, Service, FUN FUN FUN!!!
Cons:
Cost for it's size

| “I Love My 135i M Sport” By: Michelle2265...
This car is a rocket! It feels solid as a rock. Goes 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, so great to merge into L.A. traffic! The ride is quiet, even with the audio system off. I love the way it looks. This is a great introduction car to the BMW line. Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
Pros:
A rocket
Cons:
I wish it would get better gas mileage

| “Bmw 135” By: Nalaka5
A light, tight BMW that does 0-60 in 4.7 sec need I say more? It's not an M car but it can be if you want it to. Just get a performance exhaust, stiffer springs, sway bars, and a DINAN stage 2 and you've got yourself a 400hp M killer. As it is it's an incredibly capable sports coupe but also a GT when you want it to be. Best bargain in the market.
Pros:
phenomenal performance, great handling, light weight, and all the luxury you'd want in a sports coupe
Cons:
none

| “Best Bmw On The Line-up” By: Tim2557
I drove this car at the BMW performance school and I have to say it
Pros:
EVERYTHING !!!
but....
Cons:
-Cost even though advertised to be cheap, loaded is about $42,000.
-Almost everything on it is optional even more so with the 128i. -Small back seat, but stand-able. -Not bad but not good gas milage about 23 miles per gallon average. |
